You/the client are going to need a certified gate installer. There are a lot of safety features to build in and the installer will have a number of solutions for the customer’s requirements.

The last one I did the Sparks for had a nice app on a mobile phone, so the client could open the gates as he turned off the motorway.
Really, find a gate installer and give himself the problem.

For unattended operation , you have to think
"Hapless entitled child ,climbing on gate -gets caught in workings - Compo case "
--expensive sensors- !
(or a Butler with CCTV)
Sim card and relay combination would eliminate a long run of cable . Dial the number to open the gate .
Re: Taylortwocities #17: very good advice about safe electric gates which should not be ignored.
By the by, I spent an enjoyable couple of days restoring some electric gates to wireless remote, keypad, fob and hall intercom button control after the gates had been necessarily modified to avoid crush and car damage but alas left with some difficult to find wiring faults - the gates and their control had not been tested before modifications so the company argued they were original faults. The safety modifications were done to prevent another episode of expensive damage to cars and people which remained in the gates' swept area.
Top tip - go for wireless/wifi interconnections to avoid wiring runs to sensors. eg:
Good gate controllers, in this case a CBME one, already allow radio control with the addition of a small circuit board and internal aerial.
