The traffic model would depend on the type of sensing you're doing. The traffic flowing in a sensor network consisting of personnel/vehicular sensors would differ greatly from using chem/bio sensors. In either case, you'd need models of your sensors' sensitivities to the stimuli they're designed to sense. In the former case, you'd also need to model the movement of personnel and vehicles through the sensor network. In the latter, you'd need a dispersion model for the chem/bio agent.

Cheers,

Andreas
