In this paper, we study the Favard length of some random Cantor sets ofHausdorff dimension 1. We start with a unit disk in the plane and replace theunit disk by $4$ disjoint subdisks (with equal distance to each other) ofradius $1/4$ inside and tangent to the unit disk. By repeating this operationin a self-similar manner and adding a random rotation in each step, we cangenerate a random Cantor set ${\cal D}(\omega)$. Let ${\cal D}_n$ be the $n$-thgeneration in the construction, which is comparable to the$4^{-n}$-neighborhood of ${\cal D}$. We are interested in the decay rate of theFavard length of these sets ${\cal D}_n$ as $n\to\infty$, which is thelikelihood (up to a constant) that "Buffon's needle" dropped randomly will fallinto the $4^{-n}$-neighborhood of ${\cal D}$. It is well known in [P. Mattila,Orthogonal projections, Riesz capacities, and Minkowski content, Indiana Univ.Math. J. 39 (1990), no. 1, 185-198] that the lower bound of the Favard lengthof ${\cal D}_n(\omega)$ is constant multiple of $n^{-1}$. We show that theupper bound of the Favard length of ${\cal D}_n(\omega)$ is $C n^{-1}$ for some$C>0$ in the average sense. We also prove the similar linear decay for theFavard length of ${\cal D}^d_n(\omega)$ which is the $d^{-n}$-neighborhood of aself-similar random Cantor set with degree $d$ greater than $4$. Notice in thenon-random case where the self-similar set has degree greater than $4$, thebest known result for the decay rate of the Favard length is $e^{-c\sqrt {\logn}}$.
