The invention relates to a train collision energy managing system and a designing method. The train collision energy managing system comprises a train hook buffering device, a crushing tube, an end energy absorbing device and a train middle structure with enough rigidity, the train hook buffering device is matched with a train, and the energy is absorbed through the cooperation of the structures in the train collision process. According to the designing method, a numerical model is established according to the actual situation, simulating calculation is carried out, the calculation result is processed and analyzed, the dynamics characters of the train in the driving direction are obtained, a curve and parameter values are output, a most reasonable output curve is obtained, and the reasonable train collision energy managing system is obtained according to the output curve. The energy in the collision process is absorbed through the cooperation of the structures, the train collision energy managing system is reasonable in structure, safe and reliable, the collision dynamics characters of the train in the driving direction are accurately simulated, the design of the train collision energy managing system is guided reasonably, the design faults are effectively reduced, the designing time is saved, and the designing efficiency is improved.
