Systems and techniques for collaborative detection and avoidance of phantom traffic jams are described herein. Sensor data for a segment of a roadway and vehicle communication data for vehicles travelling on the segment may be obtained. A vehicle density may be calculated for the segment using the sensor data and the vehicle communication data. The sensor data and the vehicle communication data may be monitored for a traffic perturbation based on the calculated vehicle density. A mitigation instruction may be selected for the traffic perturbation upon detection of the traffic perturbation. The mitigation instruction may be transmitted to a vehicle or group of vehicles traveling on the roadway. In an example where infrastructure support is available, it may be determined that a roadside communication device is not available and a first vehicle may transmit a decentralized environmental notification message to a second vehicle
