The unicasting routing technology of VANET is very important for user convenience. Unicasting packets must be forwarded to the appropriate path in order to arrive to the destination. However, there are so many problems because the vehicle nodes have limited information related to the routing decision. In particular, packet delivery failure will be occurred by selecting the path already failed again. We call this problem as 'Failed Path Re-Selection Problem'. In this paper, we propose an enhanced rerouting function of VANET Routing. The proposed rerouting function uses the failed path information when rerouting function executed. For this rerouting function, failed path information will be stored in the packet whenever the routing fail occurred. By the comparison with the performance of legacy VANET routing function, the superiority of the proposed method can be seen.
