Security System Design. The Bayside Art Gallery is considering installing a video
camera security system to reduce its insurance premiums. A diagram of Bayside's
eight exhibition rooms is shown in the figure in the next page; the openings between
the rooms are numbered 1 to 13. A security firm proposed that two-way cameras be
installed at some room openings. Each camera has the ability to monitor the two
rooms between which the camera is located. For example, if a camera were located
at opening number 4, rooms 1 and 4 would be covered; if a camera were located at
opening 11, rooms 7 and 8 would be covered; and so on. Management decided not to
locate a camera system at the entrance to the display rooms. The objective is to
provide security coverage for all eight rooms using the minimum number of two-
way cameras.LO 2,LO4,LO5
a. Formulate a binary integer linear programming model that will enable
Bayside's management to determine the locations for the camera systems.
b. Solve the model formulated in part (a) to determine how many two-way
cameras to purchase and where they should be located.
c. Suppose that management wants to provide additional security coverage for
room 7. Specifically, management wants room 7 to be covered by two cameras.
How would the model you formulated in part (a) have to change to
accommodate this policy restriction?
d. With the policy restriction specified in part (c), determine how many two-way
camera systems will need to be purchased and where they should be located.
(A schematic shows a rectangular floor plan. An entrance on the left lead to 8 rooms. Rooms 1 and 2 are of equal size. Room 1 leads to rooms 3 and 4. Room 2 leads to rooms 5 and 6. Rooms 3,4, and 5 lead to room 7 which is the largest room. Room 6 leads to room 8.)
