TSC is just another mode of the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). It uses the vehicle sensors (yaw, etc) to detect a type of motion that is typical of trailer sway, namely that the back of the vehicle experiences a pull from side to side, an oscillation. DSC applies individual vehicle wheel brakes to counteract the sway. It doesn't apply the trailer brakes, jus the vehicle brakes. BMW are using it, but it was developed by a third party and is commonly used on several other makes of vehicle as well. More recent systems have incorporated trailer brakes into the control as well.
