Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between telecoupling and wildfire events, focusing on their impacts on road safety. Wildfires emit large volumes of smoke and pollutants that reduce highway visibility and air quality, increasing traffic crash risks and related health problems. Using an exploratory and bibliographic approach, the study reviews key literature to understand how long-distance socio-environmental interactions affect road safety. It proposes a conceptual framework to visualize and analyze the links between telecoupling, wildfires, and transportation safety. The research also examines relevant legislation and identifies critical variables influencing these dynamics. Findings suggest that effective mitigation measures for road safety in wildfire-affected areas within telecoupled contexts require integrated strategies addressing environmental, social, and economic challenges. This interdisciplinary approach contributes to better disaster preparedness and resilience in transportation systems.
