ATC-2 Trailer Control caravan anti-sway system

Small evasive maneuvers, crosswinds on bridges or wind pressure when passing trucks can cause the trailer to sway rapidly. There is a high risk of the trailer "swinging up" and becoming uncontrollable.
Once you experience this danger, you will never drive a combination without “emergency electronics” again. In the car you can keep the ESP and in the trailer you can rely on the ATC.

And this is how ATC works:

As soon as the vehicle starts to swerve, the ATC sensors measure even the slightest lateral acceleration directly from the trailer axle.
ATC brakes the trailer immediately and automatically.
The driver feels almost nothing about the electronically controlled braking.
After a few seconds, the vehicle will be moving safely again.
By braking, the trailer automatically adjusts to the road.
