Claim 11:
12. A device, comprising:
an interface configured to communicate over a network;
a memory configured to store instructions; and
a processor, coupled to the interface and the memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions stored in the memory to:
segregate a plurality of vehicles into clusters based on telematics data received from the vehicles,
track the vehicles within a window which is centered based on the telematics data, wherein a position of the window is determined based on positions of the vehicles,
divide the vehicles within the window into partitions having sizes based on a maximum number of vehicles within the partitions,
divide the clusters into the partitions comprising binary space partitions of varying size,
determine a metric representing a suitability of communications between the vehicles in the window,
generate a quad tree data structure corresponding to the binary space partitions; and
establish nodes in the quad tree data structure as validator nodes for a block chain.
