Therefore, the express delivery business generated by online shopping has considerable development space, but there are many drawbacks in the existing mode of express operation serving the campus. This paper investigates the basic situation of colleges and universities, analyses and studies the problems existing in the distribution of express terminals in Colleges and universities, and constructs a new mode of campus express operation in view of relevant problems

1. Introduction

As a gathering place for young people, online shopping is very popular inCollege campuses, with the explosive growth of express demand. Campus distribution has become a problem faced by many university logistics departments. There is a contradiction between campus safety management and express delivery. The distribution of campus express terminal has become the main problem of the 'last kilometer' distribution, which has seriously affected the enthusiasm of college students in online shopping. After analyzing the mode of campus express delivery, we find that there are many problems in the process of campus delivery.

2. Types of Express Distribution Mode in Colleges and Universities Campus

2.1 Traditional 'open-air stall' distribution mode

The traditional 'open-air stall' mode means that express companies set up open-air operating points on campus. In order to ensure the safety of teachers and students, most colleges and universities prohibit foreign express vehicles and their personnel from entering the campus at the entrance of each campus. Therefore, many express packages can only be placed on the ground at the school entrance or directly on the van. They choose to go to the school gate at a fixed time every day, with the delivery man carrying the express car. As a recipient, it has no autonomy, but is based on the information or telephone notification of the express delivery personnel, and the temporary construction of the receiving yard is crowded with many people and miscellaneous places. This distribution mode mainly saves costs. Its schematic diagram is shown in Figure 1.

2.2 Distribution Model of Rookie Post

Rookie post distribution mode is quite common in University campuses. First, the courier manually sorted, scanned or entered the express bar code. Then, The courier places the express on the shelf and edits the pick-up message to the recipient to indicate the number of the express on the shelf. Finally, the recipient receives the item by number. This model allows consumers to receive information in advance and quickly find their own express delivery. The service and quality are guaranteed. The pickup time is unlimited. If something can not be picked up immediately, it can often be delayed by two days. The traditional distribution mode of rookie post is convenient for picking up parts, but it is easy to cause queuing, congestion and other phenomena during picking up peak period, which affects the normal development of picking up parts. The traditional distribution mode of rookie posts is shown in Figure 2.

2.3 Delivery Mode of Express Cabinet

The delivery mode of express cabinet is that the courier delivers the express to the school gate, the administrator arrives at the terminal network to deliver the delivery, uses the ID card landing system, scans or enters the express bar code, enters the recipients mobile phone number, chooses the appropriate cabinet, and the system automatically sends the message to the target recipient. Express cabinet mode is the best distribution mode, with fixed receiving place, free pick-up time and no longer queuing congestion. However, at present, due to the expensive construction price and the distribution of space, the development of the number of express cabinets is limited. The operation process of express cabinet is shown in Figure 3.

Analysis of Traditional Distribution Model of 'Open-air Shop'

The traditional 'open-air stall' distribution mode has the advantages of simple distribution process, but it also has some shortcomings.

3.1 Distribution time is not equal to the free time of teachers and students in Colleges and Universities

In order to save costs, most campus express companies often do not have fixed stores. Most of them transport express by mobile express delivery truck, which shortens the time of picking up the items. For college teachers and students, their leisure time is usually after class or after work. This time is usually shorter and is not equal to the time of distribution. Teachers and students find it difficult to pick up the express, and miss the time of picking up the express, which results in the delay of distribution time. On the one hand, this time inequality affects the quality of express delivery, teachers and students satisfaction with express delivery. on the other hand, it also affects the receipt and delivery volume of teachers and students and express companies.
