param s = 1;
var t >= -1, <= 1;
var b >= 0, <= 1;

minimize obj: b; subject to
e1{1..1:s=1}: t >= b;
e2{1..1:s=-1}: t <= -b;
e3{1..1:s=0}: -b <= t;
e4{1..1:s=0}: t <= b;


Conditional generation of equations is an important feature in formulating real-world models. You may want to consider hiring a consultant with experience in AMPL modeling. That would speed up the implementation considerably.
