An experimental measurements of the funicular generated vibrations provided after Gediminas hill North part slope landslide, which occurred on 2015. The geology of Gediminas hill made up strata of Quaternary system late Pleistocene glacial and glaciofliuvial coarse and fine deposit.The purpose of this measurement was to determine, whether funicular generated vibrations during exploitation is the significant slope destabilizing factor. For vibration measurements in X, Y and Z directions was implemented equipment, developed by the authors. Measurements in 25 different points on the Gediminas hill slope was provided during funicular movement up and down. Obtained results compared with limit values presented by the DIN 4150-2standard. Analysis of obtained results revealed, that the highest vibration level mainly localized at the top of funicular foundations, wave energy is not large, propagating waves greatly dampens in the soil and there is no effect for slope stability and the funicular exploitation was not the main reason of the occurred landslide on 2015 spring.
