Embodiments are presented for trailer sway detection and braking distribution using a camera mirror system. In one embodiment, a vehicle controller is provided comprising: one or more processors; a non-transitory computer-readable medium; and program instructions stored on the non-transitory computer-readable medium. The program instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: monitor images captured by at least one image capture device to detect sway of a plurality of trailers being towed by a tractor; estimate a relative weight of each of the plurality of trailers based on the detected sway; determine braking force to apply to each of the plurality of trailers based on the estimated relative weight of each of the plurality of trailers; and send an electronic signal to a braking system of each of the plurality of trailers to apply the determined braking force to each of the plurality of trailers.
