This　study　explores　the　influence　of　cooperative　vehicle　infrastructure　system　(CVIS)　on　the　driver＇s　visual　and　driving　performance.　Taking　the　work　zone　as　an　example,　a　driving　simulation　experiment　involving　37　drivers　has　been　conducted　to　collect　driver＇s　eye　movement　and　vehicle　running　data　in　the　same　scenario　with　and　without　CVIS　information　respectively.　Next,　the　nonparametric　test　and　grey　relational　analysis　(GRA)　have　been　used　to　compare　the　specific　performance　and　to　analyze　the　correlations　among　the　multi-stage　of　driver＇s　information　process.　The　results　present　that　CVIS　information　has　the　potential　to　alleviate　the　driver＇s　tension　and　the　difficulty　of　information　perception.　Meanwhile,　the　driver　tends　to　search　visual　information　more　actively　and　complete　the　lane　changing　behavior　earlier.　Further　analysis　indicates　that　CVIS　information　can　reduce　the　influence　of　mental　workload　on　lane-changing　decisions,　and　enhance　the　correlation　between　visual　information　processing　and　lane-changing　decisions,　as　well　as　the　effect　of　decision-making　timing　on　the　running　state.　Therefore,　drivers＇　speed　control　ability　was　improved　and　the　traffic　flow　was　smoother.　The　findings　give　an　insight　into　the　influence　mechanism　of　the　cooperative　information　on　driving　performance　and　provide　a　direction　for　a　comprehensive　assessment　of　CVIS　based　on　human　factors.
