Through analysis on characteristic of highway traffic noise and pollution-treating and noise-reducing mechanism,the paper had illustrated feasibility and advantage to reduce traffic noise along highway by making use of plant acoustic barrier,introduced design model and methods of plant acoustic barrier,and principles and scope for plants' selection.On this basis,by taking K37+100-K37+250 section of Yunnan Chuda Highway for example,application of plant acoustic barrier had been studied,general situation and design schemes of pilot project analyzed,and some matters needing attention proposed.Based on the analysis of a large amount of statistical data and researches on pilot project of noise-reducing by plants along Yunnan Chuda Highway,it hoped to provide reference for similar engineering projects.
