The smoove package is a collection of functions to work with continuous time correlated velocity movement (CVM) models as described in Gurarie et al. (Movement Ecology - 2017, 5:13). There are functions that simulate, diagnose and estimate these models, as well as functions for facilitating a change point analysis.
To install in R:
require(devtools)
