Rollinghorisonts
Rollinghorisonts is a concept in forecasting and decision making that describes the continuous reassessment and extension of the planning horizon as new information becomes available. It treats the planning interval not as a fixed window but as a rolling target that adapts to data quality, computational resources, and changing conditions, with the goal of aligning decisions with the most relevant future.
The concept draws on rolling horizon planning and model predictive control. At each decision epoch, a finite-horizon
Applications include supply chain management, energy system operation, transportation and logistics, and autonomous robots. In non-stationary
Challenges include selecting the update rule for H(t), ensuring stability and convergence, managing computational burden, and
Related concepts include rolling horizon planning, model predictive control, adaptive forecasting, and dynamic optimization.
