1. A processor-implemented method of operating a barrier control system for a stationary building based upon a detected crossing of a first geographic boundary, a second geographic boundary, and a third geographic boundary, the method comprising:

  • electronically monitoring sensor or transceiver information to detect a crossing of a first geographic boundary;

    electronically monitoring sensor or transceiver information to detect a crossing of a second geographic boundary, the second geographic boundary being between the first geographic boundary and the third geographic boundary;

    electronically monitoring sensor or transceiver information to detect a crossing of a third geographic boundary;

    responsive to detection, using the processor, of a crossing of the first geographic boundary and a crossing of the second geographic boundary in succession, electronically initiating a first barrier system response; and

    responsive to detection, using the processor, of a crossing of the third geographic boundary and a crossing of the second geographic boundary are detected in succession, electronically initiating a second barrier system response;

    wherein the first barrier system response and second barrier response are both initiated responsive to detection of a crossing of the second geographic boundary.
