Assessing the Potential of Smart Lighting for Sustainable Urban Development: A Case Study of Marshal Tito Street, Sarajevo

Abstract

Smart lighting integrates various technologies such as LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes), motion sensors, and IoT (Internet of Things) to achieve energy efficiency, improve safety, and support various urban services. Beyond simple illumination, it serves as a conduit for deploying information and communication technologies to enhance efficiency and mitigate environmental impact. This paper analyzes the technical and economic feasibility of smart lighting compared to traditional lighting systems through a case study and mathematical model on the busiest street in Sarajevo, Marshal Tito street. It underscores the transformative potential of smart lighting, not only as a technical solution but also as a strategic instrument for urban development and sustainable growth. By introducing LED lighting with motion sensors, significant savings in electricity consumption and maintenance costs have been achieved, indicating the potential of smart lighting to transform urban spaces into sustainable and functional environments. Overall, this paper emphasizes the critical role of smart lighting in shaping the cities of the future, fostering efficiency, and sustainability in urban environments.
