[en] The investigation of dose meters composed of several detectors is important in individual dosimetry. Computational methods are needed in particular in order to determine certain calibration factors. Calibration methods have been briefly discussed for these composed dose meter systems and a plea made for calibrating the dose meter on an anthropomorphic phantom and not on the ICRU sphere. Computational methods are still needed not only to calculate the fluence-to-dose conversion factors but are also useful for calculating the detector responses as a function of influence parameters. The power of computational methods was illustrated in two examples. First, a system of two albedo detectors was shown to have good dosimetric properties even in radiation fields with unknown directional distributions of incident neutrons. In this case, the effective dose equivalent is an indispensable dose quantity. Secondly, the effect of the influence parameters was studied for dose meter systems of albedo and track-etch detectors worn on the chest. The directional dose equivalent appears to be an adequate dose quantity in this case
