Trailer Brake Application
|
GHSP, a pioneer in the automotive industry for over 50 years, prides itself on developing products with
engineering and design that is sleek and innovative. For this reason, GHSP chose the FlexiForce sensor for the Odyssey II.
This handheld trailer brake device is used in tow vehicles to perform several functions. Most significantly:
1. Through the use of an accelerometer, the Odyssey II senses how quickly the tow vehicle is braking. This in turn controls the trailer's
brakes to mimic the tow car's deceleration.

2. It contains an exclusive force sensitive finger control (FlexiForce) for manual trailer brake activation.
This is used in situations where more fine-tuned
trailer braking activity is required. For example, when a tow vehicle is backing a trailer containing a
boat into water, the user has more control over the braking level of the trailer. Previously, a
manual sliding lever was used for this process. Now, the harder a button is pushed, the greater
amount of force that is applied to the FlexiForce sensor. Thus, more brake power is applied.
This allows the user better control over the power applied to the trailer brakes.
