The IntelliHitch is the world's first receiver hitch with a brake controller built into it. The IntelliHitch Brake Control system is designed to cause the trailer to stop at the same rate as the truck, by eliminating or minimizing the force exerted by the trailer on the truck. If the trailer advances on the truck by a few tenths of an inch, the trailer braking is increased. If the trailer lags the truck by a few tenths of an inch, the trailer braking is decreased. If the trailer is loaded, the braking will be more aggressive. If the trailer is empty, the trailer braking will be less aggressive. If the truck slides, the trailer braking will simply keep the trailer from advancing on the truck. In this simple way all the parameters of interest are considered. The trailer braking is proportional to the trailer advancement on the truck. The influence of the trailer on the truck is minimized or eliminated, depending only on the capacity of the trailer brakes with respect ....
