Abstract

An entry system includes a plurality of first user devices, such as key fobs, ID cards and the like. A plurality of second user devices are maintained by users, and may include mobile phones, smart watches and tablets. A main entry system controls a barrier to allow entry to approved individuals. An authorization system is configured to validate the first and second user devices, and to send an electronic questionnaire to the second user device. The user must complete the questionnaire and transmit it to the main entry system. The second user device, the main entry system, and the authorization system communicate with each other over a computer network. If the user successfully completes the questionnaire and the user's identity is authenticated, the main entry system allows the barrier to be opened so that the user may enter the facility.
