Abstract
A GPS data based towed vehicle braking control system and related methods are provided. In operation, an auxiliary braking system for positioning within a towed vehicle and for actuation of the brakes thereof, is provided. The system is designed to activate the auxiliary braking system only when brakes of a towing vehicle are themselves actuated. The system includes a sensing mechanism with integrated logic mechanism. The system also has a power mechanism associated with the sensing mechanism. Further, a brake actuation mechanism is associated with the sensing mechanism. In operation, the sensing mechanism employs a global positioning system (GPS) sensing device that senses the location of the auxiliary braking system. Integrated logic mechanism can then provide information to the brake actuation mechanism to selectively cause the auxiliary braking system to apply force to brakes associated with a towed vehicle.
