A new maglev train design proposes using permanent magnets on the underside of the train carriage to repel a specially designed steel track. However, at low speeds during startup and emergency braking, the repulsive force becomes weak. How would you design a hybrid system that leverages both active (electromagnets) and passive (permanent magnets) magnetic levitation to create a stable and efficient maglev transportation system throughout its entire operating speed range?
