-\subsection{Train acceleration}
+\subsection{Movement}
 
+This section will use $x$ as the position and \( s = \Delta x \) as the distance.

+\subsubsection{Constant acceleration}
+\begin{align*}
+  v(T) &= v_0 + \int_0^T a(t)dt = v_0 + aT \\

+  s(T) &= v_0T + \frac{1}{2}aT^2
+\end{align*}

+In certain cases, the starting velocity $v_0$ and the target velocity $v_1$ are known:
+\begin{align*}
+  t &= \frac{v_1 - v_0}{a} \\
+  s &= \frac{v_1^2 - v_0^2}{2a}
+\end{align*}

+\subsubsection{Acceleration of a train}
 The acceleration of a train is calculate as follows:
 \[a = a_{\text{all}} + a_{\text{locomotive}}\cdot\frac{n_{\text{locomotives}}}{n_{\text{wagons}}}\]
+Please not that slopes are not taken into consideration.
