This is a somewhat technical post, so apologies if someone gets bored to death while reading it :P :P

The figure that you see in Image 1 is called as a trapezoidal curve. this is a rather simplistic depiction of the velocity-time curve in traction, and will help me highlight a rather important point related to traction energy consumption
