Collision of trains might do damage the body of the trains when the speed of impact is high. To reduce the damage of the impact, it needs an appropriate coupling system which can absorb the impact energy. Former coupling systems have only buffer system for absorbing the energy of the impact, but these days, the coupling system which includes the buffer system and hydraulic system can absorb more energy than former system. This paper studies the performance simulation based on the experimental results. By the simulation, we can predict the maximum force of the impact if we know the characteristic of the system. Experiments for impact of trains are far expensive, and it takes a long time. Simulation, however, can be easily composed, but the higher accuracy of the simulation is needed to replace the experiment. We are going to make a simulator which has the equivalent models based on the experimental results though the simulator in this paper does not show remarkable coincident with the experimental results. We introduce the concept of the simulator.
