# Urban Maglev Firefighting Systems This Train Delivers Emergency Personnel Straight to the Location By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-11-22 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firefighting-system References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2017/11/22/a-lifesaving-train/) The need for more advanced infrastructure within urban environments is seeing the development of concepts like this firefighting system that enables better navigation through [tight city streets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polis). Designed by Nikita Lebedev and Denis Gorohov, the train sits above buildings and can deliver personnel in a fraction of time in comparison to land-driven vehicles. The train incorporates a series of pods that allow for gear and passengers to be packed within without the need for oversized space within the main compartment. The firefighting system and [emergency train](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cetrovo-10-carbon-star-rapid-rail) could be implemented into the design of existing cities or new ones to make safety a top priority at all times. As urban areas become more dense, the need for more versatile, compact options will likely become more apparent. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Advanced Infrastructure:** Developing advanced infrastructure solutions can improve navigation in urban environments. - **Compact Firefighting Systems:** Creating compact firefighting systems like the urban maglev train can deliver emergency personnel faster and more efficiently. - **Safety-focused Urban Design:** Implementing safety-focused urban designs with firefighting systems can prioritize safety in dense urban areas. ### Who This Affects Most - **Transportation:** There is an opportunity for the transportation industry to innovate and develop advanced systems for urban firefighting and emergency response. - **Urban Planning:** Urban planning professionals can explore the integration of compact firefighting systems into the design of cities to enhance safety measures. - **Construction:** The construction industry can adopt and implement safety-focused urban designs and infrastructure to create safer urban environments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Panoramic Open-Air Roof Trains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-train.md) - [Levitating Firefighting Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firefighting-robot.md) - [Modular Emergency Vehicles Proposals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-emergency-vehicles.md) - [Magnetic Wall-Scaling Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trois-mobility-concept.md) - [Next-Gen Wildfire Rescue Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firefly-x01-fire-rescue-drone.md) - [Extreme-Heat Firefighting Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firedrone-by-empa.md) - [Accessible Train Interior Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/proteus-rail-interior-system.md) - [Space-Saving Urban Mobility Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-doro.md) - [Autonomous Emergency Drone Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polestar-duo.md)
