We derive optimal control policies for a Connected Automated Vehicle (CAV) cooperating with neighboring CAVs to implement a highway lane change maneuver. We optimize the maneuver time and subsequently minimize the associated energy consumption of all cooperating vehicles in this maneuver. We prove structural properties of the optimal policies which simplify the solution derivations and lead to analytical optimal control expressions. The solutions, when they exist, are guaranteed to satisfied safety constraints for all vehicles involved in the maneuver. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed solution and significant performance improvements relative to maneuvers performed by human-driven vehicles.
